Genetic Sex Differentiation in Fish

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive study of sex differentiation gonochoric and hermaphroditic fishes, this bookaexamines sex chromosomes and sex determining genes, emphasizing the need to search for more than one sex-determining gene residing on different chromosomes. Itatraces the origin of hermaphrodites from secondary gonochoresaand explains the conservation of homologous sex differentiation and steroid receptor genes among gonochores and hermaphrodites. The author identifies the optimal broodstock size and the appropriate candidate species for bait. He showsathat the analysis of steriles and mutants has demonstrated the value of fishes as a system for genetic dissection of human development and diseases.
